Marvin Miller: Michael Anthony

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters a room that has a large number of stones, rocks, granite, marbles, and pebbles where he discovers Tipton seated, off screen, holding one of these objects. Only Tipton's hand is visible to viewers]  You sent for me, sir?

  John Beresford Tipton : [Holding up the object]  Mike, take this rock. Doesn't look like much, does it?

  Michael Anthony : No, sir.

  John Beresford Tipton : [Indicating a second rock]  Nor this. But watch, Mike.

  [Tipton chuckles and holds up the second rock and switches on a Geiger counter, which immediately begins to click] 

  John Beresford Tipton : You see, Mike, without the Geiger counter, we might think this is just another stone. With it, there is a hidden greatness that makes a mere rock priceless uranium.

  [Tipton turns off the Geiger counter] 

  John Beresford Tipton : Men can lose sight of something inside them, Mike, and there is no instrument to remind them of what they have.

  [Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony] 

  John Beresford Tipton : This man has lost faith in himself. Maybe a million dollars can help him find it, Mike.

• Michael Anthony : [Holding up for a moment to the viewers a book]  Maybe you remember the novel 'Ajax County' by Robert Croft. It was a sensation. Most people don't know yet that Robert Croft has written a second novel. Until now, however, this story could not be told. In as much honesty as he could, he looked at himself and unflinchingly wrote the truth. But let him tell his story.

• Michael Anthony : .

  [to the viewers] 

  Michael Anthony : My name is Michael Anthony. As you know, my employer, the late John Beresford Tipton, amassed one of the greatest personal fortunes of our time. Having had, as he said, the thrill and excitement of making money, he found a new and greater thrill in giving it away, one million dollars at a time. From Silverstone, his home, he chose his men and women millionaires with a private, uncanny instinct.
